About Dr Alikya Chipurupali

Dr Alikya has completed her MBBS from European University Georgia and she cleared FMG in the very first exam. Her preparation journey started during her college years, from the third year of college to be precise. She invested the downtime during COVID into her FMG exam preparation to get a headstart. Leveraging PrepLadder’s online preparation resources, Dr Alikya started with Anatomy, Biochemistry and Microbiology. 

Early Preparation Strategy 

Dr Alikya followed a balanced approach towards her preparation using PrepLadder's video lectures to develop concept clarity. She integrated her college-based subjects and with her FMG preparations for effective learning. 

For instance, if she was studying Radiology in college, then she would come back and watch Dr Nikita Nanwani’s video lectures to reinforce concepts. After completing a particular subject she would solve it’s QBank while also preparing the next subject. 

Her approach of interplaying between college subjects, FMG preparations and practicing with Qbank proved to be effective. 

By revising the previous subject while studying the next, Dr Alikya ensured effective retention and a smoother transition between topics. This strategy not only deepened her understanding but also optimized her revision process.

Importance of QBank and Time Management

Dr Alikya's emphasis on time management and passive learning played an important role in her success. She mentioned making the most of her time by using her meal time to solve QBank or watch a video lecture. Through this passive learning strategy Dr Alikya utilized the small pockets of time she had during that day and effectively prepared for the FMG exam. 

Furthermore, she emphasized on practicing questions daily and mindfully for each subject. In addition to actively practicing MCQs, Dr Alikya also made sure to read the related explanations and learning objectives added after each question in the PrepLadder FMGE QBank 5.0. It helped reinforce her understanding of the topic and enabled quick revision. 

Customized and Smart Revision

Dr Alikya's revision strategy was dynamic and efficient. She identified essential concepts and subjects that needed more attention by keeping them bookmarked in the PrepLadder app. She would master those topics and remove them from bookmarks. 

She also relied on screenshots and learning objectives provided after each question in the QBank to revise different topics. Her emphasis on must-review topics and high-priority bookmarks demonstrates the significance and impact of targeted revision. And this technique of summarizing and revisiting high-yield questions helped her retain crucial concepts efficiently.

Exam Day Strategies

You can prepare hard for your exams but it’s ultimately how you perform on the test day that determines your score. This is why, Dr Alikya says that it is critical to approach the exam day with a calm and focused mindset. 

Her strategy was to manage time effectively during the exam and to make sure you answer maximum questions accurately. Moreover, make sure to mark questions you are doubtful about to review later. This will allow you to optimize your answers and improve your performance.
